The idea for our Pie in the Face for Chase event was born during the time that ALS ice bucket challenge was in full glory. We had accepted our challenge and decided to change the game and challenge our friends to do something to raise awareness for Phelan McDermid Syndrome, and what is more fun than pieing someone in the Face. Our wonderful friend Dave Hoffenberg took it one step further and turned it into an event. Now every September, we have a team of 22 local celebrities who graciously volunteer their time and faces to raise money for Chase and PMSF. We are going on the fourth year and have added more fun each year with “golden pies” and “pies from afar”. The event is always a blast with local music and a silent auction. We even have some other PMS families now coming to Vermont to participate! We hope to continue the fun and awareness for many years to come.
